Great solution, 👌it works ... The old method applicable for windows 10 isn't working for windows 11 ...but you solved it with this video thanks a lot ♥️
I guess you are using the Steam version of the game. So, with the original version/steam version of GTA 4, there is currently no way to complete the second half of this tutorial which involves editing the target. However, I believe that the first part is sufficient to solve the problem, and that the second half is optional. So go ahead and give it a shot. I'm hoping it works out
I've tried many things and mine locks in at 2GB on game settings screen. I got 6GB on GPU. Does it matter which version of GTA IV you are using? I'm on 1.7. My only guess is 2GB is max and more for Complete Edition? I don't know anymore.
even I have 4gb graphics but mine gets locked at 2gb, its a old game so it doesn't recognise high end graphics, so 2 gb is the max that it can go. As long as your game is running smoothly you shoudn't be having any problem. :)
@@Ig_loverplayz see these games are so old that they barely perform well in our new advanced Windows systems. You can download the pirated copy from FitGirls repack and give it a try, hope it works :)
okay :| thats strange, try cranking up the graphics of the game despite of it showing 723mb, sometimes what happens is that this game is soo old and poorly optimised that even though it displays a very low display memory within the game in reality behind the scenes it has successfully recognized the full potential of your system, thus crank up the settings and check the gameplay. If its smooth then dont worry about that display memory.

GTA4 has a total file size of 30 Gb.

Gta 4 is poorly optimized for modern systems, thus no doubt it is indeed a very unstable game. It's very difficult for me to say what exactly is causing this problem in your system, but I believe if your system is overclocked using Afterburner, that has something to do with your crashes!

Run it on max settings, I mean keep everything on high especially anti - aliasing 16X also make sure V sync is on Goto Run Type %temp% Inside the folder there would be tonnes of temporary files delete all of them, the system won’t be able to delete few files skip them. Post deletion of temporary files your system should handle the game better.

GTA 4 is poorly optimized game thus we can solve it by running these kind of fix on the other hand GTA 5 is a highly optimized game if it isn't running properly on your system then you should try tweaking the graphical settings within the game.

to run gta 4 properly you will be needing atleast 256mb of VRAM. ruclips.net/video/A4ogwnVIG_8/видео.html watch this video of 👆mine on how to increase VRAM, try this once. If you are able to increase your VRAM then you are good to go with the game.

In the game settings I leave it to consume 700MB of VRAM, but following it through Afterburner it extrapolates this memory causing several crashes, I have more memory than that, but I leave it at these settings because the performance and quality were ok, now the game crashes all the time, basically unplayable. Could anyone help?
Gta 4 is poorly optimized for modern systems, thus no doubt it is indeed a very unstable game. It's very difficult for me to say what exactly is causing this problem in your system, but I believe if your system is overclocked using Afterburner, that has something to do with your crashes!
Hi mate, following your settings on commandline, I pressed the ‘start’ and it crashed after the animation showing that out of video memory.
Does it have anything to do with my GPU-GTX1650?
Thanks for your help.
How much Ram do you have, and is your Virtual memory around 128 mb ?
@@arg99 Yes, what to do?
@@kolipakaaditya6658 make sure your graphics driver is upto date and all other necessary system drivers are upto date.
Download GTA 4 from Fitgirl repacks and give this a try, if you are using a legit copy of the game then this should have worked for you without any hindrance.
For anyone on steam, you are able to do the 2nd part of the video, but in a different way:
So complete the 1st part of the video as per normal, then for the 2nd part:
-Open up steam and go the game in your library
-Right-click on GTA IV and click on properties
-On the general tab you will see Launch Options
-Paste the command in the text field -availablevidmem (your vram amount) -norestrictions -nomemrestrict
This will work.
When i right click the icon and go to properties there isn't a target place i can type at all i don't have the shortcut option even
are you using the steam version of the game ? If then follow the below steps
FOR THE STEAM VERSION OF GTA 4 🛑
Go to the library on Steam,
then to the properties of the GTA 4 game,
then select local files and then browse local files.
This will take you to the place where the game data is installed, where you execute the first portion of the tutorial (The notepad part with commands).
"However, with the original version/steam version of GTA 4, there is currently no way to complete the second half of this tutorial. However, I believe that the first part is sufficient to solve the problem, and that the second half is optional. So go ahead and give it a shot. I'm hoping it works out."

What if i am using my Intel Iris Xe with 128vram? Should i put 128 on availablevidmem?
whatever value is there beside your Display Memory (VRAM), is what you should put beside availablevidmem.
How about steam version, in steam ver there is now target up to shortcut key

Recommend settings of gta 4 is a mix of high and very high but it still lags suddenly and becomes smooth for some time and repeats the same.. i installed game from fitgirl
Run it on max settings, I mean keep everything on high especially anti - aliasing 16X also make sure V sync is on
Goto Run
Type %temp%
Inside the folder there would be tonnes of temporary files delete all of them, the system won’t be able to delete few files skip them.
Post deletion of temporary files your system should handle the game better.
brother your trick worked but the game still lags some how and i am having a gaming laptop and the problem is with GTA 5 too
Make sure that your Windows System & Graphics card is up to date. GTA 4 is poorly optimized game thus we can solve it by running these kind of fix on the other hand GTA 5 is a highly optimized game if it isn't running properly on your system then you should try tweaking the graphical settings within the game. Also last but not the least make sure you have the latest directX.

do you have a dedicated graphics card/GPU?

If you are using a gaming mouse then maybe there is some issue with the driver, make sure that your windows as well as other drivers of yout system are up to date.
Not work anything
Yes problem fixed now i have set everything to max setting except theres no difference between the previous graphic details and the new one
my game still full of jaggies
(Laptop with GTX 1650 Ti 4GB+ AMD Radeon Graphics 512MB )
the game was selecting the AMD at first and it was limited to the 512MB
i set it to 3900 its playable now but it looks weird
is it running smooth? Please ensure that all your drivers are up to date, also make sure that the game is using your GPU and not your system graphics.

Yes it should, it was released back during 2008 so it should run smoothly on Older OS
